The savings could be easily applied to the upliftment of the EDUCATION & HEALTH. But what is doing actually this REGIME.They are destroying our country using un-neccassary elections, highly corrupted Chinese funded projects with high annual interest rates,the Destruction of the reputation of the Foreign policy ete…ete…This REGIME can’t even understand what is really happening in the Global & Regional Geo Polity. They can’t understand what is the re-conciliation following the 30 years of war. In conclusion this Regime is an old ship with out a rudder and going without a proper direction. This stupid Regime should be changed for the benefit of the entire NATION.

Why? I am puzzled. All the monks appear well nourished, though they have only one meal daily – I presume – according to their code – and all with full grown heads of hair – though I remember all bhikkus in the past had fully shaven heads, also according to their code of living. Occasional large poster photos of the president are visible.
It was reported elsewhere that 75% of student monks quit their robes and join the laity after graduation and employment.
If they are members of the Peoples Liberation Front, from what do they wish to be ‘liberated’?
All students forget that they get entirely free university education unlike in other countries, and should study and qualify with the facilities available, though these may be inadequate. This is their duty towards their parents who support them and sacrifice on behalf of them.
The shocking behaviour of assaulting their teachers and damaging state property cannot be condoned.
Politics must be banned from universities.
